Before First Ride
Filling The Battery
The following procedure should only be performed by an adult
utilizing extreme caution. While attempting this procedure,
individuals should wear rubber gloves, eye protection, and have
water available in case the electrolyte solution comes into contact
with skin or eyes. Children should not attempt to complete this
procedure, and should NOT be allowed near the area when
attempting to fill the battery. This procedure should be completed
first so that the battery is charged when the kart assembly is complete
WARNING: POISON - CAUSES SEVERE BURNS
Contains sulfuric acid. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing.
To prevent accidents, rinse the empty electrolyte solution container
with water after use.
- If solution comes in contact with the skin, flush the area with
water.
- If solution is swallowed contact a physician immediately.
- If solution comes in contact with the eyes flush with water for
fifteen minutes. Get immediate medical attention.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN
Procedure
- This procedure should be performed in a location out of reach of
children and animals.
- Remove the battery and the electrolyte solution from the shipping
crate. (See figures on page 12 to assist with this process)
- Place the battery on a level surface and remove the metallic sealing
from the top.
- Holding the electrolyte container upside down so the sealed
openings are facing the ground, align each sealed opening of the
bottles with the corresponding openings on top of the battery
terminal.
- Strongly push the electrolyte container into the openings of the
battery terminal so that the all of the seals on the electrolyte
container break, allowing electrolyte solution to flow into the
battery. Do NOT attempt to puncture the electrolyte container
unless the six sealed openings are properly aligned with the six
openings on the top of the battery terminal.
(x2)
9 10
- Air bubbles will begin rising from each opening of the electrolyte
solution when they are punctured.
- If air bubbles are not rising in each individual tube, tap the top side
of the electrolyte bottles.
- Leave the electrolyte bottles in their draining position until all of
the electrolyte solution has drained. Do NOT attempt to remove
the electrolyte bottles while they are draining.
- Do NOT attempt to puncture or cut any part of the electrolyte
container.
- Do NOT allow children near the battery at any point during the
installation process.
- When the electrolyte solution has finished draining, pull the bottles
gently from the top of the battery terminal and properly discard in a
location out of reach of children or animals.
- The battery needs to sit for Thirty (30) minutes before charging.
Letting the battery sit will allow the electrolyte to penetrate the
plates and provide a longer battery life as well as better battery
performance.
- After sitting for thirty (30) minutes, the battery is ready for
charging.
Place the cap strip loosely over the holes in the top of the battery.
Do NOT push the caps all the way into the holes.
- After the battery has been sitting for thirty minutes, push the caps
firmly into place in the holes. This will seal the battery. Do NOT
attempt to remove the caps after sealing the battery.

Front Tie Rods
The front tie rods need to be attached to the spindle on each side. To
do this, remove the washer, castle nut, and cotter pin from the tie rod.
Slide the bolt on the tie rod down through the hole in the spindle so
that the threads are sticking through the bottom. Place the flat
washer, spring washer, and castle nut on in that order. Tighten the
castle nut. Be sure that the hole in the bolt that the cotter pin slides
into lines up with openings in the top of the castle nut. This will
allow for the cotter pin to slide into position. After sliding the cot-
ter pin through the castle nut openings and the hole in the bolt, bend
the end without the curve (one side at a time) to a ninety (90) degree
angle (away from the center) to prevent it from sliding out of place.
Repeat this process for the tie rods on each side of the kart.

WARNING: To prevent dangerous conditions, check the
bolts holding the tank into place before and after each use. After the
tank is securely in place, attach the gas line to the gas valve on the
bottom of the tank. The gas line should run from the engine to the
bottom of the gas tank. The gas valve has three settings: On, Off,
and Reserve. In the On position, the kart will use approximately half
the gas in a full tank before cutting off. The On position requires the
arrow on the indicator switch to be facing up. Switching the tank to
reserve will allow the driver to use the remainder of the gas in the
tank. The reserve position requires the arrow on the indicator switch
to be facing down. The valve should always be switched to the “off”
position when the kart is not in use. The Off position requires the
arrow on the indicator switch to be facing right (at a 90 degree
angle).
Front Bumper

Check The Oil
To check the oil, remove the dipstick from the engine. (See Figure
below) Wipe clear any oil from the dipstick and place it back in
the hole it was removed from. Do NOT twist the dipstick back into
place, doing so will give you a false reading. Push the dipstick down

the dipstick out and check the oil level. If additional oil is needed,
please refer to the maintenance section of this manual for directions
on how to add/change the oil. After checking the oil, be sure to
screw the dipstick back into place.

To check the fuel level, remove the cap from the tank and observe
the amount of fuel. If more fuel is needed, using a funnel proceed to
add gas to the tank until it is full. Do NOT overfill the tank, doing so
may cause damage to the kart or increased risk of fire. Do NOT open
the fuel cap while the go-kart engine is running, doing so may cause
serious injury. Use only 93 octane fuel. Be sure that the fuel is clean
and fresh. If the kart will not be used for 30 days or longer, be sure
to use a fuel stabilizer.
Bolts/Connections
Inspect the connections on the go-kart that involve nuts, bolts, pins,
and other moving components. Be sure that all connections are
